“Netta!” Felix lunged forwards against the arms restraining him.
“Felix!” Marinette fell towards him, but Juleka knocked her to her knees, forcing her to watch as Nora dragged Felix out of view.
“There there, Marinette.” Alya cooed, patting her head condescendingly. “It will all be better once Cootie Catcher heals you from that boy’scooties.”
“What are you gonna do to him?” She whispered.
“The same thing we’re going to do to every boy, silly!” Rose piped in. “We’ll throw them in the pit until their cooties show their true nature.”
“Cootie Catcher?” An akuma?
“She can show you the truth about boys and their cooties.” Mylene said. “Come, let’s introduce you.”
It was then Marinette noticed, every girl’s eyes were a stunning violet.
—
Felix groaned, laying his head against the wall.
“Hey! No sounds, boy.” Alya’s older sister was standing above him, looking down into the pit.
Felix resigned himself to pondering his problem.
He had been attacked and dragged into a pit.
He had been separated from Marinette.
He had heard the word “cooties” thrown around.
His conclusion was clear; there was an akuma taking control of the school, likely a young girl.
Felix allowed himself to relax, and scanned the area above his prison for the most likely place Marinette would save him from.
——
“Manon?”
“No!” She pouted and stomped her foot. “It’s Cootie Catcher!”
“Forgive her, Cootie Catcher.” Alya Bowes low. “She was with a boy when we found her.”
“A boy?” Manon glowered. “That’s not okay, we need to catch the cooties.”
“Will do.” Marinette saw blue hair like her own.
“Maman? How could you be doing this? What about Papa?”
“That’s different dear; he’s a dad. You’ll understand after you’re cleansed.” Without another word, Marinette was shoved into an entirely pink room.
“Cleaning starts in three minutes.” Ms. Bustier was just barely visible behind the pink tinted window.
There was no time for a plan.“Tikki, spots on!”
Ladybug kicked her way through the glass, running to where she last saw Manon.
“You’ll never catch me, Ladybug! If you try, I’ll get rid of all of the boys!”
She halted, ducking in a corner and detransforming.
“What are you doing, Marinette?”
“Ladybug may be a threat to Cootie Catcher, but a ‘cootie cleansed’ Marinette isn’t.”
She stepped back into the hall, pulling down her bangs to mask her not-purple eyes.
———
Felix had been merely resting when he heard a terrible commotion coming from above the pit.
“Gah!” Nora fell next to Felix and stopped moving.
He looked up, expecting to see his girlfriend in her red and black attire, but instead saw her dressed in her usual pink.
“Hey Felix! Need any help?”
He nodded his head stiffly, words failing him.
“Okay, well, imma help you out and then I need to get Manon.” She threw down a makeshift rope and Felix began his climb.
Once he was up, Marinette transformed into Ladybug and pecked him on the cheek.
“Gotta go deal with Cootie Catcher now, bye!”
Felix watched as his spotted rescuer swung out of view, before walking in that very direction.
————
She was losing; even with Chat Noir there for the first few moments, she was losing.
She dodged yet another blow from Alya, sliding her legs out from under her. There were just too many girls in Cootie Catcher’s army.
Suddenly, just as she activated her lucky charm, a tie clip, she felt a giant pain in the back of her head and fell to her knees.
She slid to her side, and curled her knees close to her chest, staring blankly at the approaching Cootie Catcher.
The world started to blur together, and just before she lost consciousness, she saw a creeping grey and white blur come behind the blur she recognized as Cootie Catcher.
—————
The minute he saw Ladybug close her eyes, Felix pounced onto the unsuspecting akuma.
When she released the glowing staff, he kicked it to the side and lunged after it, grabbing it and easily snapping it over his knee.
He stood for a moment to watch the butterfly climb out of the rod, before plucking Ladybug’s yo-yo from her fist.
After a moment of trial and error, he managed to open it and he swung it at the escaping insect.
His eyes soon caught on a spotted object and he inspected it.
The lucky charm only heals Paris if Ladybug throws it. He realized. So I have two choices; I could borrow Marinette’s earrings or get her to throw the clip.
Deciding on the latter, he pocketed the clip and lifted Ladybug to her feet, supporting her arm with his shoulder.
“Netta,” he whispered, “you need to wake up.”
“Felix?” Her eyes fluttered but stayed mostly closed.
“Yes, it’s Felix. You need to preform the miraculous ladybug cure.”
“Miraculous ladybug?”
“Yes, just say that again.” Felix slid the clip between her fingertips.
“Miraculous ladybug.” She mumbled again, lifting her hand slightly.
The clip exploded in a mass of red and black, spiraling around all of them.
He felt Marinette’s weight lessen and watched as she stepped away from him to tend to all of Hawkmoth’s victims.
She truly was the miraculous rescuer of Paris and the savior of his heart.
Felix came up behind and turned on the light again. “What is there I haven’t seen that you want to hide in the darkness, Marinette?” He asked skeptically. Right. They saw each other naked in the middle of the university. But it wasn’t the same as being really naked! Marinette could actually see her own clothes and she was supposed to take them off now. In front of Felix.
ch. 5 preview: For a moment, Marinette lost her coordination from the powerful blow, but immediately tried to get up, leaning on the strong arms of her partner, who was already there to help her.
“Chat!” Ladybug exclaimed, upset that Chat left the fight and they could lose the akuma again. “We can’t let the akuma g…!” She continued, and fell silent as her eyes found the akuma involved in a fight with Chat Noir on the other side of the street. *** FOR EARLY ACCESS - pleas check patreon.com/san_fics
“Don’t disappoint the audience, man!” Kim encouraged him. “And the sound of her moaning my name as her nipple stiffens in my mouth and her walls clench around my fingers.” Felix finished and winked at Rose.

“Oh, don’t give me that look, Marinette.” Felix said in an annoyed voice. “You can see me naked, so you can’t even deny that you dreamed about it happening.” He rolled his eyes. “And here I’ve been told that we will solve the problem like adults do…”
ch. 4 Preview: Marinette gasped at the unexpected sensation. Is this what was supposed to happen?!
“What are you doing?!” She exclaimed, turning her head slightly to him. *** EARLY ACCESS on patreon.com/san_fics
“Where are we headed to, Adrien?” Felix asked as Adrien led them both through the halls of Gabriel’s mansion. Adrien looked more distressed than usual, he was going so fast Felix had to run just to keep up with him.
“To my room, there’s something I need to give you and I trust that you’ll keep it safe,” Adrien answered as they ran up the stairs. Felix couldn’t help the small twinge of anger everytime Adrien stopped running to check if Felix was still following him. He felt as if Adrien was looking down on him.
When they finally made it back to Adrien’s room, he locked the door behind him. Gesturing towards a drawer, he called Felix over. Felix didn’t go over to him though. He decided to continue standing where he was until Adrien finally explained what was happening. It was childish and stubborn of him, but what can you really expect from someone who’s stubborn to a fault?
Felix almost smiled when Adrien had given up on waiting for him and instead walked over. When against Adrien, he never won. It made him jealous of the boy. He hated how perfect the other was. It was a small, meaningless victory but it was a victory nonetheless.
“I need to give you something but you have to keep it safe. Felix, promise me you’ll keep it safe,” Adrien begged, holding both of Felix’s hands in his. He looked desperate, scared almost.
“I don’t have to promise you anything, Adrien” Felix scoffed, yanking his hands away from Adrien’s in disgust.
Adrien’s request only dampened his mood. He should know by now how much he despises touch. First, he drags him here and now he demands that he do something for him? How entitled does Adrien think he is?
“Felix, please. I beg of you, please do this one thing for me. I need your help.”
Felix only glared at him with his arms crossed. He considered leaving Adrien’s room and refusing his request. Didn’t the golden boy have friends? Friends who would gladly do anything he asked?
Right as he was about to speak though, Adrien interrupted him.
“I know the code to father’s safe. I’ll give it to you if you just help me with this one thing”
Felix wanted to refuse, he wanted to laugh at Adrien’s face for being so desperate he’d turn on his own father but he couldn’t. The code to Gabriel’s safe was just too valuable to pass up. He’d get access to Gabriel’s safe and all he had to do was keep something safe? There was no way he would refuse.
With a sigh, Felix accepted Adrien’s terms, “Alright, I promise I’ll keep whatever you’re gonna give to me safe.”
Adrien only looked at him with a relives smile as he walked over to the drawer. This time Felix had followed.
Felix watched as Adrien went through the drawer. He was throwing around clothes and pushing the contents of the drawer around. It took a while until he finally pulled out a small brown box. He opened the box and took out a silver ring.
“A silver ring? You want me to keep a boring silver ring safe, Adrien?” Felix questioned, refusing the ring when it was handed to him by Adrien. All this stress over a stupid silver ring. This had to be a prank. Adrien was probably only using the code to get him to accept the deal.
He felt like an idiot for accepting the deal so readily. Of course, Adrien would never sell out his father. He probably didn’t have a single bad bone in his body.
“It’s not a normal ring, Felix. It’s special and needs to be kept safe, you’ll see when you put it on. For now, just trust me and take the ring. I don’t have much time!”
Adrien pleaded, holding up the ring.
Felix looked at Adrien with a mixture of confusion and disbelief. A special ring? Did Adrien think Felix was a child who still believed in fairy tales? How foolish of him.
“Adrien, what is going on? Who’s Plagg? I swear if this is some sort of prank I’ll-”
“It’s not a prank Felix, this ring is dangerous in the wrong hands, Father has caught on to me and it won’t be long before he comes looking for it. Please, just take it and go. Plagg will tell you everything once you put it on”
Gabriel doesn’t want Adrien to have that ring? Now that piqued his curiosity. What could the ring mean? What did Adrien do to get the ring?
Slowly, the boy took the ring from Adrien’s hand and examined it, it looked like a simple silver ring. What could Gabriel possibly be mad about? Why was he not supposed to have it?
His mind was telling him not to take the ring, that this was a prank meant to expose and humiliate him. He knew he shouldn’t but he wanted to know more. He wanted to know what Adrien did to get himself into trouble with Gabriel. He knew he should’ve refused but he took it anyway.
“Fine,” Felix said, shoving the ring in his vest pocket, “But this better not come back to bite me, Adrien”
With a sigh, Felix left Adrien’s room and started walking towards his. It wasn’t a long journey. His room was just across from Adrien’s.
Not long after he left, he heard another set of footsteps walking quickly up the stairs. He’d guess it was Gabriel. Gabriel was probably storming into Adrien’s room right now to question him about the ring. He absent-mindedly touched the pocket where the ring was. If Gabriel wanted this ring it must’ve been special.
Walking into his room he sat on his bed. He wasn’t sure what to make of what just happened. Adrien’s rushed explanation only gave him more questions and more answers.
He took the ring out of his vest pocket and examined it once more. Adrien said the ring wasn’t normal but it didn’t look any special. It was a simple silver ring.
Adrien had told him to put the ring on but he wasn’t sure if he should. Putting the ring on could get him answers but it was risky. Adrien made the ring sound dangerous and he didn’t want to take any chances.
Eventually, he decided to go to bed and put the ring away for now. It was already pretty late and sleeping would probably help clear his mind.
As he got ready to go to bed, he took the ring and hid it behind a book on his bookshelf. He figured that would keep it safe while he slept.
—-
Felix woke to the sound of his alarm going off. He quickly shut off the alarm and got out of bed. He picked out a fresh set of clothes and got ready for a shower. His mind couldn’t help but think about the ring hidden on his bookshelf. What exactly did he get himself into?
After getting everything ready he finally stepped into the shower. He let the water wash over him as he contemplated what to do with the ring.
He went over any possibility and scenario. It couldn’t be a prank, Gabriel had sounded genuinely angry when he stomped up the stairs.
He couldn’t have stolen it either. Felix didn’t think Adrien was even capable of stealing things. Sure, Adrien was an idiot with no backbone, but he wasn’t a thief. He didn’t have the heart for that.
No matter how many possibilities Felix thought up, he was still no close to getting answers. Every idea he had led nowhere. Every possibility he could think of was quickly debunked.
Maybe the answer wasn’t as logical as he thought. A voice in the back of his mind had suggested. Maybe the ring wasn’t normal?
He had decided he was going to put it on after the shower. Putting the ring on was risky, yes, but he needed answers.
—-
Felix looked at the ring in his hand. It was still the same old simple ring. There was no change to it. He rotated it between his fingers, looking for anything at all that could make this ring different. He wasn’t surprised he had found nothing. This was the third time he did this after all.
He knew what he had to do but he wasn’t sure if he could do it. He had to put on the ring. He needed answers. As much as he hated it, the answers weren’t going to come out of thin air. Adrien couldn’t be of any help either since he was probably still getting yelled at or punished by Gabriel.
Before he could procrastinate any further he slid the ring onto his finger. It was a surprisingly snug fit. It was as if it was made with his finger measurements in mind.
After a few seconds, nothing happened. Maybe this was a prank? It probably was just a normal r-
“I see I spoke too soon,” he said to himself as he watched a glowing green light come from the ring. It swirled around him to reveal a black cat-like creature.
It had green, feral eyes. One’s that that screamed the words “dangerous” and “wild”. The creature’s piercing gaze made even him shudder, goosebumps and all.
He stared into the creature’s cat-like eyes for a while before finally asking, “And who might you be?”
“The names Plagg, i’m the kwami of destruction and all that stuff. Got any cheese?”
